Summary/Abstract: This paper gives a survey of approaches to the analysis of Virginia Woolf’s “Blue & Green” (1921), a meditative sketch, a prose poem that belongs to experimental modernist prose, integrating various mimetic and diegetic techniques highlighting the issue of colour perception from its symbolic, eidetic, and intermedial perspectives tightly linked to the specificity of human imagination. The paper brings these research perspectives together, elaborating them to further introduce, in the forthcoming paper, a new vista of Woolf’s “Blue & Green” interpretation via the phenomenon of focus dissipation as a ludic narrative and/or mimetic technique based on text-driven attentional shifts.
